For Ferris State University, the game was a great opportunity (even if it was on the second half of back-to-back road games coming off a Sunday outing at Lewis in Illinois). The Bulldogs jumped at the opportunity to take this game against Central Michigan and showed how fired up it was for the contest by coming out and setting the tone early in the game and making the Chippewas have to work hard for its victory.
The Bulldogs came out and competed hard against the bigger and perhaps more experienced Chippewas, a Division I squad from the highly-competitive Mid-American Conference. In the end, however, Central Michigan roared back to take a lead midway through the second half and held on down the stretch as Ferris attempted to rally. CMU claimed an 82-69 non-conference victory over the Bulldogs.
Ferris had a good-sized group of fans that made the relatively short trip from Big Rapids to Mount Pleasant (in addition to FSU fans who came from points even further away to check out the contest). The Bulldogs even had their cheerleaders (who performed during one point of the game) in attendance at the Rose Center for the contest between the two Mid-Michigan rivals.
